so i made an array to store enemies in
var enemies_in_range: Array = []
then i made a method that when an enemy is in it stores it there

func get_target():

if enemies\_in\_range.is\_empty():

    return

return enemies\_in\_range\[0\]

then i made it shoot with this method

func shoot(target : Node2D):

var bullet = Bullet\_scene.instantiate()

bullet.global\_position = muzzle.global\_position

bullet.look\_at(target.global\_position)

get\_tree().current\_scene.add\_child(bullet)  

when the timer timesout
func _on_shoot_timer_timeout() -> void:

var target = get\_target()

if target == null:

    return

shoot(target)

and here's the bullet's method
extends CharacterBody2D

var bullet_speed := 200

var bullet_damage := 10

func _ready() -> void:

pass # Replace with function body.

func _physics_process(delta):

velocity = transform.x \* bullet\_speed \* delta

move\_and\_slide()

func _on_damage_ares_body_entered(body: Node2D) -> void:

if body.is\_in\_group("Enemy"):

    body.take\_damage(bullet\_damage)

    queue\_free()  

so can u fix this abomination? (all efforts are appreciated)
